re: #45 teleskiguy

Republicans are salivating at their chance to criminalize abortion. That’s their endgame with this SCOTUS bullshit.

We’ll be lucky if that is the only thing they attack. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a bunch of states pass new rounds of anti-sodomy laws. Marriage equality will be on the table again. Birth control.

The fact is that I think pushing the nom through is going to cost them electorally, and may ensure a Dem Senate. But the GOP is betting that the legislation they can’t block on procedural grounds will get overturned by their big bro in SCOTUS. This is very much a “lose the battle, win the war” approach.
